New Bibliomystery from Elizabeth George

Elizabeth George's bibliomystery, "The Mysterious Disappearance of the Reluctant Book Fairy," written exclusively for The Mysterious Bookshop, is now available as an eBook! The short story is featured in our series of mysteries involving books, each one written by a different author.

Read on for a description of the plot:

Jane Shore was born into a quiet life—the sickly, most easily overlooked daughter of a brood of eight boisterous children. But Jane’s tendency to fall ill and her natural penchant for devouring stories in her sickbed reveal a most extraordinary ability: the power to fully immerse herself in a book—in mind and soul if not in body. By tethering her wrist to a suitable anchor in the real world and with the recitation of several key words, Jane can spend hour after hour in whatever literary plot has stolen her fancy.

But such a power is an enticing thing, and that which tempts the desires of the masses is sure to bring overwhelming fame to its bearer. Where can someone so well known escape for peace and solitude?

The eBook is availiable here. Paperback copies and limited edition, numbered or lettered hardcovers are still available from The Mysterious Bookshop.
